The U.S. Department of Energy expects to cut the cost of solar electricity by an additional 50 percent by 2030 to enable greater adoption of solar energy. Aligned with this goal, Zhao’s research may lead to the development of a commercial-scale, silicon-carbide solar inverter system. If successful, the power density of the inverter will be 10 times greater than current technology, and the cost of the inverter system will be reduced by 50 percent.

New Mike also likes watching the electric meter on the side of his house on sunny days, because it actually spins backwards as his solar panels collect energy to offset his usage.

Campers Scotland has developed its intriguing 191-in (485-cm) Eco Explorer hybrid mini-campervan by mining the Japanese used market for what it describes as mint-condition Toyota Alphard Hybrid vans. It uses the same strategy for its Mitsubishi D:5 Terrain camper van and describes itself as one of the largest UK importers of these types of affordable, high-quality used Japanese base vans.

And then there’s his monthly electric bill, which has dropped to—wait for it—zero. That helps him pay off the 10-year loan he took out to buy the solar panel system. When he is done paying it off, in 2028, the system will still have another 15 years under warranty.

Using an AC-coupled architecture, the Sunny Boy Storage 3.8-US/5.0-US/6.0-US offers a simple, flexible platform for new and existing PV systems that is compatible with high-voltage battery manufacturers, such as BYD and other leading brands.

Why an electric vehicle? Environmentalism and the techno-nerd factor are part of it, but it’s mostly economics. I paid $95k (after taxes, registration, etc.) for my Model S, far more than the @$45k I would typically shell out for a car. The federal government nicely handed $7,500 in tax credits and California chipped in $2,500 reducing my Model S cost to $85k. I also have solar on my roof with extra charging capacity that I sell back to the utility so I have credits to cover charging. When I received an appointment at NASA HQ in December of 2016, my wife and I drove the Model S across country to DC and back for free using Tesla’s extensive supercharger network. (Note: “Environmental” NASA had no electric vehicle charging!) No gas bills for 50k miles driven has saved me $5,000 (assume 30mpg and $3/gal). Model S cost down to $80k. Current Tesla buyers aren’t grandfathered into free supercharging and some don’t have solar but it’s still way cheaper than gas. Analysis estimates charging costs at $4.40 per 100 miles, yielding 68mpg equivalency. So, the gas savings for most folks is more like $2,800.

The result is the same: Both Cushman, who cofounded a battery startup called IFBattery in 2016, and Cronin say their tricked-out flow batteries could be small and light enough for use in electric vehicles. Both also say the electrolyte can be recycled in a process Cushman likens to recycling cans.

Tenaska, an independent power producer, has developed more than 10,000 MW of natural gas-fueled and renewables power projects, including two utility-scale solar projects in Southern California, in which Capital Dynamics is an investor. The Omaha, Nebraska-based company has a robust renewables program that includes advanced and mid-stage projects in the midwest, as well as a majority investment in Soltage, a distributed solar generation company based in New Jersey.

Tesla and its competitors in the battery-powered electric vehicle market dominate debate over who will control the future of cars, but there’s another kind of green transportation technology making inroads in the United States, and it is based on the most abundant resource in the universe.
